OPENING KICKOFF: Today's Centennial Conference (CC) game marks
the 15th meeting between McDaniel (1-0, 1-0 CC)
and Moravian (1-0, 1-0 CC) in a series that dates
back to 1972. The Greyhounds hold a 10-4 advantage in the all-time
series, including three wins in the first three meetings since the
renewal of conference foes in 2007. The last Green Terror win was
by a 21-7 margin in the 2002 ECAC Southeast Bowl.

WHEN LAST WE MET: Steve Panasuk threw for 175
yards and two touchdowns to lead Moravian to a 21-16 victory over
McDaniel in the CC football opener last season. T.J.
Develin rushed for a career-best 148 yards with a pair of
touchdowns to key the Green Terror, who racked up 346 yards of
total offense. The McDaniel defense held the Greyhounds to minus-13
yards of total offense in the second half after 237 yards and 21
points in the first half.

LAST TIME OUT: Ray O'Hara (Yardley,
Pa./Conwell-Egan Catholic) netted a career-high 120 yards
on 23 carries to lead an offense that did just enough to earn
McDaniel a 3-0 victory over Juniata in the season and CC opener
last week. The Green Terror outgained the Eagles 243-184 and
freshman Bill Castor
(Morrisville, Pa./Conwell-Egan Catholic) provided the only
points with a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter. Chris Kolb
(Keymar, Md./Francis Scott Key) and Aaron Slaughter
(Baltimore, Md./Loyola) each recorded six tackles to lead
the defense.

HEAD OF THE CLASS: Freshman Bill Castor earned
CC Co-Special Teams Player of the Week honors after providing the
only points of the game, lifting McDaniel to a 3-0 win over
Juniata. Castor split the uprights on a 27-yard field goal with
10:54 to play in the second quarter for his first collegiate field
goal, atoning for a first-quarter miss from 37 yards.

WITH HONORS: Ray O'Hara and Bill Gerdes
(Freehold, N.J./Colts Neck) were named to their respective
CC Weekly Honor Rolls last week after contributing to the Green
Terror victory. O'Hara was named the offensive ledger after rushing
for a career-high 120 yards on 23 carries. Gerdes earned the
defensive nod after leading a defense that pitched its first
shutout since 2004 with five tackles, including 3.5 for loss and a
sack.

LEADING THE WAY: Matt Cahill
(Broomall, Pa./Haverford Twp.), Chris
Kolb and Aaron Slaughter will captain the
squad in 2010. The three captains are the fewest named by the Green
Terror since 2007 when it was just Brad Baer and Ryan Mellinger
guiding the team. Cahill and Slaughter become the first three-time
captains in the history of the program. Kolb will join his senior
teammates as a first-time captain.

SHOOTING BLANKS: McDaniel posted its first shutout since
defeating Dickinson 20-0 on Oct. 16, 2004. Beyond that, it was the
first time the Green Terror won a game by a 3-0 score since Oct.
17, 1942, managing just a field goal against Mt. St. Mary's.
Furthermore, the three combined points were the fewest in a
McDaniel football game during Tim Keating's
18-year tenure as head coach. It was also only the second time in
the 28-year history of the CC that a conference game has been
decided 3-0. On Sept. 24, 1983 – the first season of the
Centennial Football Conference – Muhlenberg defeated Franklin
& Marshall. The three points was the fewest scored by a CC team
in a win since Swarthmore defeated Washington and Lee 2-0 on Nov.
11, 1995.

ANOTHER FRESHMAN WINNER: Last season, then-freshman Nick DeLuca
provided the winning field goal of a 22-20 game at Gettysburg. With
the departure of DeLuca this season, freshman Bill
Castor assumed kicking duties for Week One and gave the
Green Terror another winner – of a different nature, however.
For DeLuca last season, it was a 20-yarder as time expired for the
win. This season, Castor's second-quarter 27-yarder turned out to
be the game's only points and helped the freshman atone for a
first-quarter miss and give his team the win.

RUNNIN' RAY: In his first game as the featured runner in the
Green Terror backfield, Ray O'Hara turned in his
first collegiate 100-yard rushing performance. The senior ran for
120 yards on 23 carries to pace an offense that was able to move
the ball for 243 yards but could not find the end zone. The last
time McDaniel won a game in which it did not score an offensive
touchdown was a 7-6 win over Muhlenberg on Nov. 6, 2004. In that
game, Chris Martin returned a punt 76 yards with 1:50 to play,
giving the Green Terror a victory.

BATTLE OF UNBEATENS: It may be early in the season but McDaniel
and Moravian meet this afternoon in a battle of the conference
unbeatens. Part of the lone two Week One CC tilts, both teams won
defensive battles to set up the opportunity for one team to emerge
atop the standings with a 2-0 record.

WHAT A BOOT: While it was Bill Castor who
earned the field goal duties in Week One, Jake Nichols
(Frederick, Md./Gov. Thomas Johnson) retained his kickoff
and punting duties. Nichols boomed the first kickoff of the season
into the end zone for a touchback and averaged 62.0 yards on his
two kickoffs. He also uncoiled a 51-yard punt – tying his
career long – and averaged 36.2 yards on eight punts. He
dropped three inside the 20-yard line in what became a game of
field position.

SACK LUNCH: The Green Terror defensive line picked basically
right up in 2010 where it left off 2009. McDaniel had 32 sacks in
2009 and opened 2010 with three – all from defensive linemen.
Sam Cox
(Towson, Md./Towson), who had 7.5 sacks a year ago, had a
key 10-yard sack on a fourth-quarter drive after Juniata had
marched to field-goal range. Bill Gerdes notched
the first solo sack of his collegiate career. Conversely, the
relatively young and inexperienced offensive line allowed six sacks
in the opener after allowing 12 all of last year.

ROAD WARRIORS NOW: Entering the sixth game last season, McDaniel
had lost 13 straight conference road games. However 47 weeks later,
the Green Terror is now riding a three-game road winning streak.
None of those wins have been outstanding offensive displays,
though. In the three wins, the team has scored a total of 41 points
and the offense has managed just three touchdowns. Conversely,
McDaniel has not faired well at home since the road losing streak
has come to a halt. The Green Terror is 0-3 at home since Oct. 17,
2009 despite scoring six more points in those three games than the
three road victories.

SPREAD THE LOVE: Despite only managing three points last
Saturday, McDaniel was able to move the ball with varying success
during the game. The offense generate 243 yards, including 158
through the air. Tom Massucci
(Seneca, N.J./Tabernacle) did a good job spreading his 18
completions among five different receivers. The top two Green
Terror receivers accounted for 11 of those receptions. CJ Billera
(Allentown, Pa./Emmaus) caught a team-high six passes for
59 yards while Matt Cahill had five receptions for
a team-best 60 yards. The remaining seven receptions were spread
amongst the next two receivers on the depth chart and starting
tailback Ray O'Hara. In addition to his 120
rushing rushing yards, O'Hara caught two passes out of the
backfield for 13 yards. Ryan Procaccini
(Hockessin, Del./Wilmington Friends School) had three
catches for 13 yards while Nick Bender
(Harrisburg, Pa./Susquehanna Twp.) hauled in two balls for
13 yards.

BLOCK IT LIKE BENDER: Senior WR Nick Bender,
who is listed at 5-foot, 7-inches, is the second shortest player on
the Green Terror roster – and shortest amongst those who
receive significant playing time. However, he is been one of the
top defensive special teamers during his time on the Hill. For the
third time in his career, he blocked a kick. In addition to his
blocked punt on Saturday, he also blocked punts at Gettysburg as a
freshman and against Dickinson as a sophomore. He is the first
player to block three kicks in his career since Brett Rough
(2002-05) blocked four – a total which is tied for tops in
program history.

SECONDARY TO NONE: When the Green Terror entered the season, it
knew it had two solid experienced players returning to the
defensive secondary. Neither of those two – Chris
Kolb and Aaron Slaughter –
disappointed in the season debut last week. Kolb and Slaughter led
a staunch defensive effort, tying for team-high honors with six
tackles apiece. Kolb also broke up a pass when Juniata attempted to
go deep down the sideline early in the game.

TERROR TIDBITS: The Green Terror has managed just 13 points in
its two CC trips to Juniata... McDaniel won its third straight
season opener... The Green Terror opened the conference season with
a win for the first time since 2005 and is now 13-15 in CC
lidlifters... McDaniel put together a 14-play, 5-minute, 42-second
drive on its first possession but did not have a drive of longer
than nine plays or 4:30 the rest of the afternoon… The Green
Terror improved to 44-2 all-time under Tim Keating
in games when the team holds its opponents to single digits.
McDaniel has won its last 10 such contests.

COACHES' CORNER: Tim Keating is in his 18th
season at the helm of the Green Terror. His 104 victories are the
most by any McDaniel coach. Keating enters this week with record of
104-70-3, guiding the program to seven CC championships and a pair
of NCAA playoff wins. Before coming to the Hill, Keating notched a
26-23 record in five seasons at Wesley… Scot
Dapp is in his 24th season leading Moravian. Dapp enters
today's game at 138-99-1 overall. Dapp's 138 victories is the most
by any coach in program history. During his tenure, Moravian has
reached the NCAA tournament twice, including a berth in the 1988
South Region championship game. He has also guided the Greyhounds
to a MAC championship (1988), a Commonwealth championship (1993)
and four ECAC appearances (2002, 2004, 2005, 2008).

THE WORD ON MORAVIAN: The Greyhounds enter today's game off a
12-6 victory over Susquehanna in last week's season and conference
opener… Rocco Del Priore scored on a
five-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter to give Moravian
a lead it would not relinquish in handing the Crusaders a loss in
their CC debut… Del Priore finished the game with 76 yards
rushing on 24 attempts and added 49 kickoff return yards for 131
all-purpose yards… Freshman QB Phil Gardner
completed 7 of 12 passes for 72 yards in his first collegiate
game… A Susquehanna fumble at its own 3-yard line led to a
safety with 5:54 to play that gave Moravian a 12-6 lead.
Travis King intercepted a Crusader pass with 2:55
on the clock to thwart Susquehanna's last attempt at the tie or
win. A Joe Tegan five-yard rush and two Del
Priorre carries gave the Greyhounds a first down and ability to run
out the clock with two kneel downs… David
Wacker keyed a defense that kept Susquehanna out of the
end zone with eight tackles, including one for loss. Daniel
Burley added seven tackles and two pass breakups while
King had seven stops in addition to the game-clinching
interception… Moravian held the ball for a CC-best 37
minutes, 50 seconds last week. The offense put together an 18-play
drive that consumed 10 minutes and ended with a field goal in
addition to a 20-play march to end the third quarter and begin the
fourth quarter that consumed 12:08 before stalling inside the
Crusader 10.
